Summer break means more time for myself -- namely performing my own music. It's one of the cool things about being a teacher. I don't know how much time I'd have for myself in another job, and this way I get real time to concentrate on my own shit. Can't do that much during the school year as it is. I've been hitting up open mics and other gigs in the area the past few weeks, when my boy's with his mom.
This weekend I'll be at the Jazz House in town, Friday and Saturday nights. Then July 27th, I'll be up at Caffe Amouri in Vienna, VA, for their Singer/Songwriter showcase. Starts at 7 pm. I'm going to try to hit up Open Mic in the Woods at Hard Bargain Amphitheater in Maryland on Sunday the 29th, too. Seems like an interesting location, and different from the same sort of clubs and cafes you usually see open mics at.
Bring a friend or two. It'll be a good time, I promise.
